Abstract
Many young women in cardiology are concerned about radiation exposure, and this issue contributes to the low number of female interventional cardiologists. The proportion of women in interventional electrophysiology is particularly low. However, radiation exposure during catheter ablation of arrhythmias can be minimized and even avoided completely using modern 3D mapping systems. The "zero fluoro" approach can improve patients' safety but also motivate more women to become interventional electrophysiologists.Entities:
